A tortilla is a thin, flatbread made from either corn or wheat flour. It is a staple food in many Latin American countries and is often used as a base for various dishes, such as tacos, burritos, and enchiladas. Tortillas can be cooked on a hot surface, like a griddle, until they are soft and pliable. In addition to being a key ingredient in many meals, tortillas can also be enjoyed on their own, often served with dips or used to wrap around fillings. They are versatile and can be found in different sizes and thicknesses, catering to various culinary preferences and traditions.
